Wall Street Part 3...The East River and TRS Building...

Just in case you think, geez!  They must have been having a great time and it is only in Missouri that weird things happen to the Murphy's.  Hah!  You might enjoy one of my earlier posts about our trip to NY or our train ride to NYC here... 

We don't go ANYWHERE without a few surprises!  ;)

We stopped at Canal Street yesterday, so we will continue on today...

We are going to the tip of Manhattan at the confluence of the Hudson and East Rivers...

See the little red pin?  Enlarge the map to see better...

As you came down the street, you see this set of buildings--a mere 4 stories high...

Turn the corner and see a MASSIVE tower behind them.

This is Gman standing in front of the smaller buildings with the Massive tower behind them. The modern glass and granite structure rising stories above. That is the building that Gman was working in.


Here is another look at it soaring above.


Look at this sculpture as you are walking to the larger building...


It is right by the building...

There are great planters at this building, but you will have to see my Thursday Things in a Row for those!  :)

Next to the building, you can climb up the steps several stories above the street...



Where you can look up at the building...It kind of give you vertigo!


And enjoy the courtyard.


You can also look out over the East River and see the Brooklyn Bridge...


And the heliport.


When you see helicopters taking off and landing in NYC, it is here...

And Governor's Island...


You can look across to Brooklyn...


And see the boats and water taxis out on the East River...


There are benches if you don't want to hang over the rail (like I did!)


Or enjoy the grassy area and relax. Remember, we are several stories above the street--not at the ground level!


Gman was looking down toward the heliport watching a chopper land. You can see the building behind him.


Here is a picture of the building from the water (we will share that trip later.)

And finally, a water tower...

I told you I like the water towers!  :)

  1. Thank you for showing my the city through your eyes.

    Re comment: I can't reply to your comment but thanks for stopping by to see my things in a row. Something else we have in common, I noticed we are both Scorpios!

  2. Hi Gail! Are you from NYC?

    Why yes! We are both Scorpios! How fun! PS Do you tend to scare people without trying? Many scorpios seem to... :)
